Mechanical Engineering Graduate Students Win Awards at KSME Conference SUNY Korea proudly announces that JuHwan Kim, a graduate student in Mechanical Engineering, received the Outstanding Thesis Award, while Jaewon Lee, also a graduate student in Mechanical Engineering, received the Best Paper Award at the Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers (KSME) 20th Anniversary Reliability Conference, held from April 8 to 10 at Lotte Hotel Jeju. JuHwan Kim’s research focuses on improving the reliability and lifetime prediction of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) by developing a Physics-of-Failure-based model centered on solder degradation, enabling more accurate and physically grounded lifetime assessment for power semiconductor devices. Notably, Jaewon Lee graduated in Fall 2025 and will begin his PhD program at the University of Maryland in Fall 2026, continuing his academic and research journey. Co-hosted by SUNY Korea and Jeju National University, the conference brought together approximately 400 participants, including leading researchers, faculty, and students in the field. Faculty and students from SUNY Korea’s Physics-of-Failure Lab and MEIC Lab also participated in the event. In addition, SUNY Korea was presented with a Certificate of Appreciation in recognition of its support and role in co-hosting the conference. This recognition reflects SUNY Korea’s continued commitment to academic excellence and impactful research in mechanical engineering.

SUNY Korea Mechanical Engineering Teams Take Top Honors at 2025 IGC Research Showcase The 2025 IGC Research Showcase was held on May 16 in the IGC Auditorium, bringing together approximately 300 undergraduate and graduate students, as well as professors from all four universities on the Incheon Global Campus (IGC). Participants shared their innovative research through poster exhibitions, presentations, and panel discussions. Among the six awarded teams, the first and second place were claimed by SUNY Korea’s Mechanical Engineering students: Team OneDirection and Team YASRIC First place was awarded to Team OneDirection, comprising of team members Hyoungdong Jin, Aung Ko Khant, Geonwoo Kim, Sunjae Lee, and Yousung Doh. Their project, titled "Directional Audio System for Private Listening Environments Using Resonant Acoustic Damping," focused on delivering sound with high spatial precision while minimizing acoustic leakage. “Our research is centered on creating a directional audio system that provides private listening experiences in shared spaces like libraries and museums,” the team explained. “A key feature is the integration of a passive damping system—specifically, a Helmholtz resonator—embedded in a chair to enhance acoustic performance.” Second place went to Team YASRIC, consisting of Junhyeong Park, Sungwook Choi, Joonhyeong Kim, and Sunghoon Jeong. Their project, "Bulletproof Shield for Urban Counterterrorism Operations with Automatic Movement and Intelligent Target Detection," introduced a robotic system designed for high-risk urban missions. The system includes specialized tracks for stair climbing, a manipulator arm for transporting explosives, and an adjustable tilting bulletproof shield that protects operatives. Its "follow-me" function autonomously tracks the pointman, while AI-driven firearm and facial recognition capabilities enhance operational efficiency and safety. The IGC Research Showcase served as a valuable platform for interdisciplinary collaboration and academic networking among SUNY Korea, George Mason University Korea, Ghent University Global Campus, and the University of Utah Asia Campus
